About

Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is a storied 5-star hotel at 15 Ngo Quyen Street, a 5-minute stroll from the French Quarter and not far from Hoan Kiem Lake. The property combines two distinct wings — the historic Heritage Wing with suites named for literary guests such as Graham Greene and Somerset Maugham, and the modern Opera Wing. On-site amenities include a heated outdoor pool, a Turkish bath and steam room, a full spa, and several dining venues including a poolside snack bar and a restaurant serving special diet menus.

Guest reviews consistently highlight the impeccable service, quiet rooms despite the central location, and exceptional dining — from breakfast croissants to dinner at the Bamboo Bar and the Vietnamese restaurant. While facilities score lower than other categories, the overall rating of 9.0 from over a thousand reviews confirms its reputation as one of Hanoi's most trusted luxury stays.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Facilities score relatively lower — The Facilities rating of 7.5 is the lowest category, suggesting some guests found the physical amenities (perhaps the pool or gym) less impressive than the rest of the hotel.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for those traveling with animals.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is available only from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals may face challenges if they land after midnight.
